if you understand anything about investing in stock portfolios and managing risk you would see that…read morethe negative reviews are knee jerk by the reviewers. My account has done extremely well because I let the professionals keep my money invested when necessary and on the sidelines when appropriate while looking for strategic opportunities. These aren't put and take accounts. You only lose if you "get out" during rough economic times. Zach is always willing to review our position and takes the time to recognize my needs. Any moves made are made at the request of the client after consultation. My funds dropped in value during a down economy less than market averages and have recovered famously. All the negative reviews seem to be from people that were looking for short term gain with no concept of minimizing risk. (Not eliminating....) I feel that my family's funds are in good hands

Very disappointing and frustrating…read more I am not knowledgeable about the market so I hired an advisor with Schwab. I felt my gains in 4 years were small relative to the market growth. I began making withdrawals for some real estate investing and my Schwab advisor advised me to hire a second financial manager. Though the market has been volatile it rebounded to July levels in November. But during that time I had lost over 15% of my portfolio, with two financial advisors. I am now waiting on hold a second time for a representative to try to explain it to me. The first call was dropped and the broker left a voicemail with a number for the main line to start all over again. When trying to get an explanation from one advisor I was told that they were doing me a favor by representing me with less than a $1 million portfolio, and that they had "lost money when (I) lost money". I would give one star for Scwhab for one of my advisors notifying me that I was losing so much money, and for the Charles Schwab rep. who opened the investigation into the lost funds. My free advice to Schwab is to spend more on clients and getting referrals and less on advertising which can yield poor Yelp ratings.

So this review is two part. Most importantly though the Community relations person Richard is an…read moreabsolute rock star! First part is about the business itself. Pretty straight forward. I have a auto loan with them. My rate is much lower than the others at the time of getting quotes. Have had zero issues with them. Been overall an easy place to work with. Second part is the people behind this credit union. I used to think the days of local business reaching out into the community was a thing of the past and long gone. Richard though proved that so wrong. He heard our local 11s volleyball club PSVBA, were looking for some support in getting our kiddos to Nationals (which is another story all together, first year these girls have all played together. Such an accomplishment already) anyway... Richard stepped up the branch Manager at this location also stepped up. They not only offered up a great location for a car wash fundraiser, Richard involved other local business like Walmart which donated a ton of supplies. On top of this Richard and some of the branch employees like the branch Manager came out and cleaned cars with us! Truly this credit union has earned not just a customer but a big fan of Richard and Tapco as a whole for life! If I could this would be the one 6 star review I would give!
